Green - Was there ever a time in your life that you went through a period of growth? Describe it. 
Are you talking when I first gained my DT? I didn’t do it on purpose, but now that I think about it, a lot changed.  Though I’m not sure how much I can really describe.  My memories of the time before I awakened to my powers are kind of hazy.
Thanks to Kryvi, I didn’t have the same lack of self-esteem.  I was scared of my devil side at first, but…it’s not like it’s separate from me.  It’s me.
I can tell you for sure, I’m a better person than I was.
I can say it, because I’m strong and manly—I was a jerk.  Most of the time not on purpose, but still.  I can still be a jerk, but I’m better about it than I was. 
Take Willow’s crush.  I was super awkward and oblivious because I didn’t know and I didn’t want to ask but I was pretty sure and I didn’t know what to do about it.  We had a talk that went a little poorly (because I still wasn’t completely sure of myself, and she’d gotten into this weird worship mode where I couldn’t do anything wrong), and then we had a second talk where I told her she was the sister blessedly born from another mother so she didn’t have to deal with Dear Old Stepdad and I loved her but not like that and she will always be one of my Very Important People.  She was disappointed but weirdly happy about that.

Juniper - What is the nature like in your setting? 
Uhh, normal?  I don’t know.  What am I comparing against here?  I can tell you I don’t like wandering around nature when it’s daytime, that’s for sure (probably part of my Pashran heritage).  I guess there are times when demons or Fae make nature not natural?  I haven’t dealt with that too much, though (shockingly).

Shamrock - Do you believe in luck? If so, are you a generally lucky person?
I absolutely believe in luck.  As for me being lucky, well…Yeah?  Both good and bad.  Entirely Pashran philosophy there.  Overall I like my life, but man…there are issues, for sure.

Pine- If camping exists in your world, have you gone camping? did you like it? do you go often?
Does ‘Halloween’ and ‘Christmas’ camping count?  I loved it.  Really peaceful, and now that I think about it, that’s probably where I got my love of just…being in snow, and watching it come down.  It happened super rarely, so it was magical when it did.  (Potentially actually magical, given that it was on a Hellmouth.)
I didn’t really notice the cold, before…not that it really gets that cold in California anyway.  And of course, now I can’t.
I think I’d enjoy it, though I might have to go alone, which might spoil it.  I don’t think my friends would enjoy being in the woods or whatever if it was raining or snowing.

Green tea - Does tea exist in your world?  If so, do you like it, and which kind is your favorite? 
Milk boba tea is my favorite.  Chewy is fun.  There’s also oolong.  I like how it’s sweet.  And of course chocolate chai.  Any chai is good when I’m in one of my spicy moods.  …The hotel had a bunch of tea in its cabinets, and I tried it out, because I’m bored.

Fern - Would you enjoy running a flower shop? 
Probably not.  It’d be interesting, but I’d lose my interest after at most a year and just wander off.  Or just grant it to some random stranger on the street.  …That sounds like a thing I’d do, really, especially as I do on occasion just steal food using my powers and give it to the poor because that’s just good this-life karma for everybody.

Seafoam - Are there bodies of water in your setting? Describe them if you can.
Yeah.  They’re pretty average?  I get the feeling a lot of these questions are being asked for not-Earth.

Mint - Does ice cream exist in your world? If so, what is your favorite ice cream flavor? 
What kind of world doesn’t have ice cream?  Maaaan that’s a world I wouldn’t want to see.  Cookies & cream is the best. Obviously.

Laurel - Is there a major victory you’ve achieved in your life? If so, what is it? 
Every day is a major victory.

Emerald - If you could be immortal, would you want to be? 
I honestly have no idea if I’m immortal, and I don’t know how I feel about that.  I definitely wouldn’t want to be without my friends.

Brunswick - Are you a person who is often jealous? what makes you jealous most often? 
Oh boy.  This is the point where I describe how demons are.
Demons are jealous.  They don’t like to share.  This is true of devils, too.  I don’t like to share my friends.  At the same time, though, I absolutely don’t want to be Jesse.  I want my friends to have other friends and I want them to be romantically happy.  Particularly so they don’t get tired of me hanging out all the time. 
I also have issues lending out my Devil Arms.  I’m cool with handing the Japanese twins off to Buffy, since I know they’ll take good care of her…really, honestly, I trust my friends with my demon-weapon-shaped friends, and I want them all to be safe.  I’m kind of obsessed with that.  If I think they’re not safe enough, need more training or whatever, I will bug the ever living daylights out of them until they actually act.  I also get jealous when they go out and have fun without me, even if I’m trying not to overwhelm them by being around and in a case like that it’s my fault.
Basically, I have jealous issues, I handle them, I be the better man and walk away.
Well, not that Buffy and Willow don’t understand it.  They can be the same way.  Particularly with my Devil Arms—Buffy likes the twins, tolerates Brahma & Shiva, though the fact that they’re guns weirds her out, and is cool with Kryvi when he’s not being a pain in the butt on purpose.  He likes teasing her.  Well, and teasing me, too.  I’d say he likes teasing people he likes, but he just kind of trash-talks everyone when he’s not actually being a sweetie.  And my Devil Arms are definitely jealous/possessive, too.  Particularly Kryvi.  He gets mad when I don’t take him on walkies.  He also insists none of us are eating enough.  To be fair, it’s easy to forget when you’re in the middle of a stakeout or fight or in Willow’s case also a long hacking sesh.  Or are worried about pursuers.
Actually, now that I think about it, my entire family of choice tends to be jealous and possessive of each other. Even our Librarian, though he tries to hide it, really.
Honestly, when it comes down to it, we shouldn’t hang out together.  We shouldn’t even be near each other.  We’re compounding the danger of being found just by being nearby.  Giles is entirely right about that one.
But we’ve also all made the choice that, nah, despite the dangers we’re all going to stick to each other like glue.  G-man might be the only sane one here, honestly.  But with this choice, we’re all defying fate, spitting in its face, like “what, man, that’s all you got?” and anything that hurts any of us is a threat to us all.  Which, again, probably means we’re at least partly insane, but.  On the other hand, our lives aren’t boring.

Avocado - Are you a health nut or a fan of junk food? 
…Is it weird that so many of my answers to these questions are ‘both’??  Seriously, though.
For the most part, junk food is my comfort food.  With my metabolism and the fact that my workouts come in the form of demons trying to nom my pretty face, I don’t have to worry about my diet too much.  Vitamins, even gummy vitamins, have been doing weird things to me lately (Willow doesn’t get it, given that it’s pretty much the same stuff just extracted from food and placed in a neat little package, and I don’t know what to tell her).
That being said, GhostChef and Buffy like making more healthy food.  It doesn’t taste anything like I thought it would be.  Surprisingly, home cooking isn’t like it was at home.  Buff especially has become obsessed with foreign cooking such as Indian food, and I’m not complaining at all.  She even got me to eat spinach. 

Army - Do you have a fighting style? If so, what is it?
Yeah.  Stylish?  I use my Devil Arms and change it up a lot.  I do dodge, including jumping around, but I also get hit more often than I should.  Willow yells at me for a lot for that.

Olive - What is your Greek personality type? (sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric, or melancholic)
Somewhere between phlegmatic and sanguine.  I’m definitely a people person and love helping others—that’s my life right now, after all.  I’m also kinda reckless and carefree.  The other two don’t fit me at all.
